Funchal Finesse

Blending modern comforts with a classic, timeless aesthetic, what this home lacks in space, it certainly makes up for in style. With an understated neutral palette of soothing whites and greys, soft furnishings, carefully placed artwork and funky light fixtures – not to mention some lovely original features – this home ticks all the boxes for a carefree city stay.

Having awoken in the calm-inspiring bedroom complete with stylish prints, open up those pretty French doors to let the Madeiran sunshine in. Retreat into the beautiful marble bathroom for a longer-than-average shower beneath the cascading waters of the rain shower and emerge feeling fresh and pampered. Then, take your time over breakfast and a cup or two of aromatic coffee as you decide what to do with your day.

Located along one of Funchal's main arteries in a striking period building, this home affords you easy access to countless of the city's cultural hotspots. Wine and dine yourself in the local restaurants and bars, visit one of the fascinating museums on offer, or pay a visit to the Cathedral of Funchal, Funchal Municipal Garden, Marina of Funchal or the Municipal Theatre. There really is something for everyone in this cool and quirky capital city.
